FAQ - ahs-courses (English version)
Participation in our face-to-face courses is possible for students and employees of JLU, THM and UMR. To enter the course a valid university ID card must be presented. Registration for guests is also possible and will be released with a time delay.
Only courses with obligatory registration are offered. Here you can find an overview of the courses on offer.
Individual instructions, course content or questions can be answered by the instructor in the additional language specified, but there is no entitlement to this.
For JLU-wide questions about the pandemic situation regularly updated information and FAQs can be obtained on the JLU website. Please click on the following link.
By your registration and the associated confirmation of the registration and participation conditions of the JLU General University Sports, you accept the SEPA direct debit procedure. An additional submission is therefore not necessary.
The hygiene measures provided by ahs are valid the face-to-face courses. Compliance with these measures is obligatory. By registering for a course, participants officially accept these hygiene measures and confirm their compliance.
Key points in brief:
- Participation is only possible, if there are no impairments to health and/or symptoms of any diseases. Admission to courses is not possible for people with symptoms of a cold or flu
You must be registered with ahs to participate in a course. You cannot attend otherwise.
In the course description you will find detailed information regarding the fees. The listed price has to be payed once for the selected sports course in the entire period.
Course registration takes place exclusively online via the ahs homepage.
When registering online, personal data is collected that is required for the purposes of course administration and is processed exclusively for this purpose.
Every participant must register in the ahs course booking system. A guide to registration and online registration can be viewed here .
If you have any problems with online registration, we will be happy to help you by e-mail service .

We need your email address so we can inform you about free places, extra classes, changes to classes, cancellation of classes etc. Your participation ticket also needs to be sent to you in digital form.
You must give us a valid email address and please make sure there are no mistakes in it.
If a course is fully booked, it is possible to register on the "waiting list" and thus register in the General University Sports notification service. As soon as a place becomes available, the first person on the "waiting list" will be notified by e-mail. The notification is sent in the order in which the waiting list places are available. If the person notified does not accept the vacant place, the next person on the "waiting list" will be notified.
The course fee can only be paid by direct debit (SEPA).
After you have registered online, the booking confirmation will be automatically sent to the email address you have provided.
Amounts will be debited once a week (usually at the beginning of the week, i.e. on a Monday). If the Monday is a public holiday, the amounts due will be debited on the following working day.
Your binding booking and your acceptance of the ahs terms and conditions of registration and participation confirm acceptance of the new SEPA direct debit system.
If there is insufficient coverage in your account or if the account details are wrong, any costs incurred will be charged to you in full.
Any participant this may concern will be informed by email and asked to transfer immediately, within a fixed period of time, the outstanding class fee plus the costs incurred (usually plus € 4.50) if your account cannot cover the amount. If, after the period has elapsed, the amount due has not been received by Justus Liebig University, the participant will be excluded from taking part in any classes offered by ahs and barred from online registration. Justus Liebig University Giessen also reserves the right to initiate a collection procedure.
Pursuant to §8 (4) of the ahs-Statute, the following regulation applies: "Admission is binding and not transferable. Termination and possible re-constitution of the contract of usage (cancellation, re-booking) are only possible if classes or events do not take place pursuant to Para. 1."
In order to be able to cancel the booking in the event of illness, a medical certificate must be submitted to the ahs attesting to an inability to exercise for at least 50% of the course duration.
You can cancel your participation in a class or classes any time. However, the course fee(s) cannot be refunded.
If there are not enough participants for a particular class, ahs may combine it with another or cancel it entirely. If there is no substitute class, participants will receive a full refund of the class fee. Participants are not entitled to demand that a class takes place.
If individual sessions are cancelled, e.g. if the course instructor is ill, ahs will attempt to find a substitute instructor or else arrange for a make-up session.
ahs is not obliged to offer a make-up session in the case of a cancelled session
- if the day of the class is a public holiday,
- if the class instructor cannot attend and ahs is unable to find a qualified substitute at short notice or to offer alternative classes or to find a date for a make-up session,
- if classes are disrupted (by construction work, renovation, repairs etc.),
- if the sports facility concerned has been booked for competitions, in-house training or other events,
- owing to adverse weather conditions,
- owing to an Act of God.
It is not permissible to swap with someone or transfer a place to any other person. Your booking is valid only for yourself and is therefore not transferable.
It is also not possible to give your place to someone you have selected. People on the waiting list will be treated equally in their chance to book the place once it becomes vacant.
Accidents must be reported immediately to the ahs office.
Safeguarding a claim resulting from possible aftereffects: in the case of minor injuries, strained muscles etc., the course instructor must enter the details of the accident in the first-aid book (in the first-aid box). A claim can only be supported if aftereffects can be proved to have been caused in connection with attendance of an ahs session.
In case the costs have to be borne by the “Landesunfallkasse” (Hessian State Accident Insurance), the accident must be registered on the forms for students or staff as appropriate. The forms are available in the ahs office or can be downloaded here.
Justus Liebig University members of staff are insured for any official class/event organised by ahs provided such class/event fulfils the conditions of company sport (e.g. to compensate for work-related strain, regular sessions, supervision by an official course instructor, exclusivity).
In the case of “Beamte” (civil servants), an accident at an ahs event is not classed as an accident at work. In this case you cannot put in a claim for accident compensation.
The body responsible for ahs and ahs staff are not liable for damages (e.g. in the case of theft or damage to private property).
Participants are recommended to take out liability insurance for coverage in case of damage to property belonging to a third party or personal injury to a third party resulting in a liability claim.
See the information sheet here.
Please be fair and observe the following rules:
- Be on time.
- Code of conduct and hygiene measures must be followed before, during and after a training session.
- Treat ahs equipment in such a way that groups after you can use it, too.
- Respect the regulations given to you by class instructors and caretakers.
- As a general rule, you are not allowed to photograph or video class instructors and/or participants in ahs classes.
If you do wish to take photographs or video, you must consult the ahs management in advance stating a plausible reason and also receive the permission of anyone who is likely to be photographed or filmed.
Lost property can be handed over to the caretakers at Kugelberg. If you have lost anything, please also contact the caretakers. The caretakers’ office is in the corridor next to the swimming pool.
If you wish to enquire after lost property, please contact only the Campus Sport/Kugelberg caretaker team:
Email: hauswerwaltung-sport
Tel.: 0641-9925280
The ahs Team cannot help in the case of lost property. Please do not send any enquiries to the ahs office, but contact the Campus Sport/Kugelberg caretaker team.
Unfortunately, there is a risk of theft at any facility used by ahs, particularly in the changing rooms. We recommend not leaving valuables unattended and not bringing valuables to ahs classes because ahs and the university cannot be made liable.
